32. Praarththanai-p-paththu “All your kindred are gratified and have declared that You have bestowed all Your grace without withholding any more. Will I Your servant mourn like aliens to you? Oh King of the world of Bliss Who, correcting my thoughts, made me Your own with Your glorious grace! Oh my great Lord ' You should place me in supreme Bliss changelessly”. (32:9) “Oh Partner of Her Who resembles a fawn 1 Oh delicious Fruit of those who worship You ! Oh my Hope If I remain resembling an unperforated gourd Laginaria, with unmelting mind, when is the time to come off when You, Oh King, will graciously bestow on me a mind which, experiencing You Who have entered my flesh will melt with and swell with Bliss?” (32:10) “While Your devotees gather and gather in concert, dance, laugh and exult, shall I, a hapless one, droop and droop and stand like a withered tree? Do grant me your grace that I may sulk and sulk and unite with you, my Owner, and that my mind may thaw, melt and sweat with Bliss and that I may become the same ecstatic Bliss”. (32:11) 671
